Harry Potter Wedding Ideas | Ashley and Jared at the Hard Rock Hotel

THE LOW-DOWN

Ashley and Jared tied the knot on October 31st at the Hard Rock Hotel’s Butterfly Garden, and their fall wedding was full of thoughtful, creative details inspired by the wizarding world. From their ceremony setup to their personal style, this lovely couple beautifully blended autumn elegance with clever Harry Potter wedding ideas for a truly one-of-a-kind day!

The couple embraced the theme with house-inspired wedding colors that were thoughtfully woven throughout the details. Their floral choices reflected the iconic Hogwarts house palette—red, yellow, green, and blue—making each bouquet and boutonniere feel extra personal and meaningful. The wedding party even wore house-colored shoelaces for a playful and unexpected pop of color!

Ashley looked absolutely stunning in her jeweled wedding gown, which featured a sparkling bodice that caught the autumn light perfectly. To top it off, she rocked Gryffindor-colored sneakers for both comfort and style (we love a practical bride!). Jared complemented her with a Ravenclaw-themed tie that was equal parts charming and dapper. One of our favorite touches? Their adorable flower girl wore a replica of one of Hermione’s dresses from the movies—it was such a fun surprise and added another layer of magic to the ceremony. She stole the show walking down the aisle in true wizarding fashion!

The couple’s ceremony also included a beautifully arranged memorial table featuring handmade flowers crafted from pages of the Harry Potter books. It was sentimental, meaningful, and totally unique. Another standout moment was their incredible snake cake topper, a subtle nod to Slytherin that added a fun twist to their cake display.

WHAT WE LOVED

Our team had so much fun working with Ashley and Jared on their Harry Potter wedding at the Hard Rock Hotel! We asked their wedding planner, Rohana, about their event, and this is what she had to say:

What was something about this event that really stood out to you?

One of my favorite parts of this event was the couple’s incredible handmade florals made from actual pages of Harry Potter books! Not only were they stunning and so thoughtfully done, but each one also had a detachable wand tucked inside, which made for the cutest and most magical photo moments. You could tell it meant a lot to them, and their guests were just as enchanted!

Where did the couple stay for their wedding?
